Chutian Group Building, President's Office.
The eldest son Chu Haoran, who had just finished an emergency meeting, knocked on the office door.
"Dad, have you seen the trending searches?" Chu Haoran grabbed his phone and placed it in front of Chu Nantian. "Why did Xiao Mu become like this?"
Chu Mu used to be frighteningly thin, but not as thin as in the photo, where he looked as if one foot had stepped into the gate of hell.
"Alas...your mother and I have already seen it." Chu Nantian's haggard eyes were filled with deep shadows. "Your brother is usually heartless, but he still cares about his family. The Chu family's affairs have affected him."
In the past month, the Chu family's business has been frequently obstructed by unknown obstacles and inexplicable tax loopholes have appeared.
The vaccine, which is the Chu family's most core technology, has also encountered a crisis.
The worst thing is that there is a very powerful hacker who breaks into Chutian Technology’s intranet from time to time and steals confidential information.
It can be said that there are internal and external troubles.
The Chu family was so busy that they didn't even think about Chu Mu who married into the Xiao family.
"Dad, why don't I go check on Xiao Mu today? It seems that the hacker hasn't been active this week."
Chu Nantian hesitated for two seconds and said, "Okay, you and your mother go over there together. I'll let your uncle block this side first."
When Chu Haoran and his mother arrived at the Xiao family villa, Xiao Ting and Dr. Wu were also at home.
"Mom, why are you here?" Xiao Ting called "Mom" very reluctantly.
Liu Juan heard it and gave him a bad look: "If I don't come, will you wait until Xiao Mu dies before notifying me?"
Xiao Ting's face darkened.
Doctor Wu quickly tried to smooth things over: "Aunt, you've come at the perfect time. Today's program requires a self-introduction video. If you and Xiao Mu appear together, it's sure to get a lot of hits."
Liu Juan knew that Wu Xi was Chu Mu's good friend. She didn't want to interfere with her son's friendships, but Wu Xi did have bad intentions.
Liu Juan advised Chu Mu for this, but the result was naturally unsatisfactory.
The mother and son also had an unpleasant quarrel because of Wu Xi.
Thinking of that quarrel, Liu Juan took a deep breath and tried to make her face look better: "Where's Xiao Mu? Why can't I see him?"
Before the arrival of the Chu family mother and son, Chu Mudu had not yet "come out of seclusion".
In other words, still locked in the room.
As soon as the two men arrived, Xiao Ting secretly winked at the aunt at home and asked someone to unlock the door.
"Xiao Mu's symptoms have worsened recently," Doctor Wu said with a worried look on his face. "He seems to be in a bad mood all day long."
Liu Juan gasped when she heard this. The thing she was most worried about had happened.
Chu Haoran was also furious after hearing this. Just as he was about to lose his temper, a voice as light as a jade throw came from above his head:
"Who said I'm not in good shape?"
The Xiao family villa is built in European style, with a spiral staircase connected to the open-plan living room. The sound came from above the spiral staircase.
Everyone instinctively looked up at the stairs.
Chu Mu was lying on the edge of the stairs, wearing a black knitted sweater with a large collar, revealing the white vest straps underneath.
The sleeves were a little long, half covering his hands.
He lazily shook his sleeves and greeted the people below: "Hi, good morning."
The sunlight tactfully shone through the carved hollow glass window onto Chu Mu's beautiful face.
This situation and scene really fits the description: stunning.
Liu Juan was already covering her mouth, tears welling in her eyes.
Even the other people at the scene did not dare to equate the person in front of them with Chu Mu for the time being.
But she is a mother.
What mother doesn't know what her child looks like?
While Liu Juan was getting excited, Chu Mu had already walked down the stairs.
[Wow, my mom is so pretty, like those Hong Kong stars back then.]
Liu Juan and Chu Haoran were both stunned.
[Is that my oldest brother behind my mom? He's in great shape, but I guess he's been too tired lately, so his biceps are a bit flaky.]
The two of them turned their gazes to one place again at the same time - Chu Haoran's arm.
When their eyes met, Liu Juan and Chu Haoran saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Chu Mu was completely unaware and was still thinking: [How come my mother, such a strong woman of the new era, is such a severe brother-supporting demon?
If she had known earlier that my uncle was framed by Qiao Qiao and owed the casino 100 million, I wonder if she would have realized her mistake?
It must be difficult. She has been instilled with the idea that an older sister should give way to her younger brother since she was a child. Even if others remind her that there is something wrong with her uncle, she won't believe it.
Even until her uncle personally pulled out the respirator from her, she still refused to believe it.
The corners of Liu Juan's lips were stiff, and her expression was dull for a moment.
Chu Mu, who had been idle these days and had already dug out all the known plots from Lao Ba, sighed for a while at his mother.
When he stood in front of the two of them, Lao Ba in his mind suddenly gave him new information:
{Plot update: At the moment Chu Haoran came to see you, Liu Juan's brother, Chu Haoran's uncle, was using his account to conduct illegal transactions with foreign countries. This will later become one of Chu Haoran's evidence of guilt.}
Chu Mu was a person with severe emotional deficiency. His emotions barely fluctuated. He simply glanced at the bewildered Chu Haoran calmly.
[I, the eldest brother, am also a fool. I have jackals, tigers and leopards around me. I had doubts several times, but I blindly trusted the other party just because he was my assistant who had been with me for many years.
He was eventually framed for bribery and tax evasion, and was silenced while being escorted. This is what it means to pay for one's own blindness.
Chu Haoran's shoulders were tense, and he looked as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
[Alas, in half an hour, my uncle will use the account he stole from Chu Haoran's assistant to trade on the dark web, and he still has time to come see me?]
Chu Haoran opened his mouth, like a fish out of water.
During this time, the worldly-wise Liu Juan had calmed down. She held her eldest son's hand, her voice trembling slightly, "Haoran, you—go back first... and help Mom pick up the birthday present she ordered."
Chu Mu’s 25th birthday is in two days, and Liu Juan has already picked up the birthday present.
She said this because she was worried that there was an insider on Xiao Ting and Wu Xi's side.
Chu Haoran understood, even though he still felt that everything was a fantasy and impossible to happen, he still did as his mother wanted.
After all, it was already strange enough that I could suddenly hear my younger brother's inner voice.
Chu Haoran didn't even have time to say a word to his younger brother who had been reborn, and he left in a hurry.
Chu Mu was a little confused, but the other party's fate was just a strange story to him.
Just listen to it.
He shrugged and turned to Xiao Ting and Wu Xi, who were still dumbfounded. "Didn't you say we were going to shoot a VCR? Call those kids out."
